At the heart of the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE Performance Tourer sport touring motorcycle, Kawasaki relies on a 1099 cc (67.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 134 HP (97.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 113.5 Nm (83.7 lb-ft) at 7,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 121.9 HP per liter and a 1,400 rpm working window between peak torque (7,600 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Ninja 1100SX SE Performance Tourer measures 234 kg (516 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 HP/kg (1.75 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
